About The Occasion

The Occasion...

Hello/Bonjour/Hola :)

The Occasion was forged on a cold october evening after a semi-drunken "let's form a band" conversation between four long-term friends at Iain's house.

Since then we have been working on a sound we can call our own, with complete disregard for what's "in" and favourable amongst the "cool" kids.

Music of the quite confusing, slow burning and slightly epic variety is what we do.

Four people playing the music we love is what we are.

We're all very nice and approachable, so say hello :)

Jeffels also dabbles in a wee bit of wee 8-bit! www.myspace.com/laughclapjump

Tom	Aug 11 2008 10:47 PM I hope those images are good enough for you. If you don't like people's heads in them, say so and i'll use the original images (since their so big) and crop them out, then re-shrink them. No heads =] Peace. Tom
